At an event earlier today, Microsoft unveiled the next Xbox - the third model, but confusingly named Xbox One. The big focus was TV, integrated Kinect, and all the other stuff we all expected to be forced down our throats. I think it took them 25 minutes to actually come to what should be the core of the story: gaming. Nothing groundbreaking in the gaming department, except for how Microsoft intends to handle the used games market and borrowing games from friends: pay up, buddy!

...because Sony has already stated that there are no restrictions for playing used games on the Playstation 4

Just because Sony shows no sign of having bent to external pressure does not mean external pressure wasn't there. And Sony has never gone back on anything they've stated, or even outright sold (backwards compatibility, Other OS come to mind).

the fact that it appears Microsoft may be requiring this is just a dick move.
